Mini Projects at Home

We have moved to this house for 7 months and there are still so much to be done. I am now doing up Chloe's room. Changed the curtain to a set of more girlie fabric with red/pink and flower motive. Bought some wall stickers but have yet to stick them on her wall. When I was renovating the house, she was not in the picture at all. Dominic is already planning on what to do with the space in our bedroom currently occupied by Chloe.

Got Lucas his dining chair cover. It is washable and partially water proof. Lucas has outgrown his high chair when we moved in and would prefer to sit on the same chair as us. Since our dining chair is made of fabric, I am very nervous each time Lucas eats. This chair cover will help (I hope) and can pass on to Chloe. Oh..and Lucas chose a bright orange color for his cover.

The garden light is finally up. When we moved in, we omit that part as we are not sure how do we want to do the landscaping. Now that we pretty much have planted the plants in the garden, we know where to position those garden lights.

My house is powered by the energy saving bulbs and I am not sure if it was a wise decision. Those bulbs are so darn expensive and they blow so easily. I just realised that I am using 112 energy saving bulbs and in 7 months, 15 bulbs already blew off!! Each bulb costs RM15 (US$4) ! The costs of changing the bulb may not justified the electricity saving.

My next project is to complete the garden. There are still scrubs and potted plants to be bought and planted. The garden looks rather bare compared to the neighbours. My house wall also looks bare. I have yet to hang any of my painting. Oh...work is never ending if you are trying to find them.

Talking about work, next week onwards are going to be challenging. I have sent my maid away as she is giving me her attitude problem and I just have no time to monitor her. She finds short cut whenever she can or whenever she thinks I am not looking. She is also not able to help me to take care of the kids, so I decided enough is enough. I am currently 'borrowing' my mother's maid until this Saturday. Next week, it is going to be me and Dominic and the 2 kids!

All these mini projects cost money. One two thousand here and one two thousand there - it all adds up. Sigh...don't know when will I have enough for the 2 kids and to retire. We were joking the other day - maybe we should hook up the kids with rich girlfriend / boyfriend. Then, hopefully the kid's financial will be taken care of! FAT THINKING!
